Last night I went to bed at 10:15, fell asleep quickly, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:45.

Teresa left at 7:45 for the gym and I left at 8:15 for my walk. I met Marcos outside his apt and we walked to Parque Envigado. On the way back he stopped at a pharmacy to ask about SPF cream so I bought a 20-pack of Zapiclona for 12mil. (I can’t believe I miscalculated how much I have left. Maybe Teresa has been borrowing a few.) We stopped at Parva for coffee for a few minutes to discuss a few things.

I ran into Teresa in the garage on the way back. She told me I have an appointment for tomorrow afternoon at 4:45 for my test. (She said it’s a 4-hour test and I think this is to ensure I don’t have bone cancer.) I texted Jose that I won’t be available to play chess tomorrow.

After Teresa returned I received a phone call. I thought it would be Claro because seldom does anyone call me. I gave the phone to Teresa and she told me the clinic had an opening at 3pm today but that would be too much rushing so we’re going to go with our original 4:45 appointment tomorrow.

After lunch I spent a couple hours having coffee in Parva while going over some chess notes.

Another day we only got a high of about 82 degrees. Lately this truly has been the City of Eternal Spring and I love it.

I won a quick 17-move game against Troyclough increasing my rating to 1520.

Teresa told me I have a urologist appointment this Thursday but she doesn’t remember what time. 😊

I beat Teresa in parcheesi today 3 games to 0.

Teresa wanted to order from Chiclayo again so I texted Laura to place the order. It arrived 42 minutes after the order was placed. The first indication I had that it was raining was when a couple of girls came into the porteria with an umbrella. (It stopped an hour or so before we went to bed.) Steve texted me that as of tomorrow pico y cedula is over and the curfew has been extended to start at midnight.
